We're proud to announce that our little toy company is pairing up with a great big
team of tinkerers to empower GAJILLIONS of playful storytellers around the world.
Launchpad Toys is joining Google to create even more amazing
creativity tools for kids. Today, we've made our digital toys and tools free to
creative kids everywhere. Tomorrow... well, we can't wait to share :)

- Your friends at Launchpad Toys

Toontastic is a creative storytelling tool that empowers kids to draw, animate,
narrate, and record their own cartoons – it's as easy as putting on a puppet
show.

Divergent thinking skills, practiced and honed through years of imaginative play in
childhood, lie at the heart of our creative abilities as adults. In creative play we
invent, prototype, test, and iterate on our designs — exercising and training for
future lab experiments and boardroom brainstorms.

Today, mobile devices like the iPad enable kids to play and learn anytime, anywhere.
Immediately, our minds leap to interactive museums and nature trails, but the journey
from the upstairs office to the kitchen island may be equally if not more impactful.

At Launchpad Toys, we build digital toys and tools like Toontastic and TeleStory that
empower kids to create and share stories through imaginative play. We're a small team
